Abstract
In an acceleration sensor having movable gates and a movable electrode and having a signal processing portion, the movable gates generate a differential voltage from acceleration in one direction and its output signal is fed back to the movable electrode. The balance of the movable portion is kept using an electrostatic force which cancels the acceleration acting on the movable portion, and signal detection is stabilized using closed loop control. Since signal detection is on a differential basis, acceleration can be detected in only one direction. Since a change in current is detected as a voltage difference, no carrier wave is required. Since MISFETs having movable gates are formed in pairs, there is no influence of temperature drifts. The use of a differential signal similarly cancels the influence of fluctuations of the power supply. Configuration of an acceleration sensor is thus simplified.
